Yeahhh
I found the source of my trim prob. as you can see in the attached pic. the trim ram isnt contacting the plate on the engine where it is suppose to It is actually going above it and gouging a groove in it... So now my question is that trim ram adjustable looks like the all thread bolts going through the trim ram may let me change the angle at which it contacts the plate is that correct ?

Can you take picture from other side so that i can get clear view of how it all fits together? need to see transom bracket, pump, pump mounting bracket, and oil tubing.

All fixed it was the lower horizontal bolt that holds the trim ram to the mount loosened it, rotated the mount, porb. solved lots of trim now

HINT: The engine transom clamps on pre-Mercury engines are relatively thin, and the trim ram assembly will usually rotate a bit and bear on the fiberglass of the transom too. It pays, and I do it on all my Chrysler and Force engines, to put a hard aluminum plate about .080 to .125 inch thick against the transom. Make the plate about 16 inches wide by 13 inches deep so the clamps and trim assembly have something other than fiberglass to bear against. This cushions the transom and keeps the clamps from digging into the glass. You will most likely need to drill a 1 1/2 inch hole to clear the transom drain. Do not use diamond plate; it is relatively soft and less desirable.

This boat has a Jack plate so no worries there. Took the boat out tonight, as soon as I trimmed it under power I heard a pop sound and the trim ram popped right back out and back to where it was.. I know I tightened that bolt VERY tight it shouldn't have rotated hmmm back to square one trying to figure out why this trim ram will not stay on that plate...
